Why did you join Physique Academy?

I joined the Physique Academy in the end of September 2023, and started the program from October 2023.

Why did you join Physique Academy?

Before joining the Physique Academy, I had been going to the gym for about 10 years, but without any proper systematic approach, with big breaks and without nutrition plan. I had managed to build muscles, but the main challenge was to get lean so that all those muscles started popping out properly. So, my goal was to achieve 10-12% body fat and maintain the muscle mass as much as possible.

Congratulations to our latest client of the month, Edward Blackburn. When Edward first reached out to Physique Academy, he had been paralyzed by analysis and too much contradictory fitness information online.

Equip with a nutrition and training plan, educational resources, community access and an incredible coach, Edward that removed the guesswork completely. After 5 months of working, Edward has completely transformed his physique and strength.

Initially weighing 92kg, Edward has dropped down to 77kg at the end of his journey while increasing his major strength lifts substantially.

We caught up with Edward for to discuss his time with the Physique Academy.

A huge congratulations to our January Client of the month, Patrick Rogan. Patrick heard about Physique Academy through a family friend and decided to commit fully to the program after connecting with coach Sam. He wanted a new challenge and to reach his full potential both physically and mentally. The biggest obstacle for Patrick was changing his mindset and building the discipline required for this lifestyle change. There were tough moments when Patrick wanted to stray from the plan, but Sam was always there to steer him back on track. One of Patrick's biggest wins has been developing unshakeable self-belief and mental toughness. The program taught him to demand the best from himself and overcome any challenge, whether in the gym or in life. His newfound confidence has skyrocketed - he now approaches any difficulty knowing he can give 100% effort to succeed. The results speak for themselves - Patrick has lost an incredible 44 lbs throughout his transformation!

When did you join the Physique Academy?

I joined PA in March 2023

Why did you join Physique Academy?

After delaying joining for some time, I realised that in order to reach my physical goals I needed help and after seeing what all the lads have achieved I knew it was the place to join.

What have you achieved both physically and personally since joining the academy?

Physically I’ve gotten into the shape of my life and reached a physique that I never ever thought I’d achieve which is amazing! Personally, I know my mindset has done a complete 180 as things that would get me down no longer bother me in the slightest and I think this has improved every relationship I have too.

Huge congratulations to our client of the year Mike Teagle. A previous winner of our prestigious client of the month award, Mike has taken his transformation to another level and is a true testament to everything Physique Academy stands for. 18 months down the line, Mike has fully transformed his physique, mindset & lifestyle and has found a level of confidence like no other. With a professional photoshoot under his belt, he has some serious ambitions for 2024. Working alongside coach Reece Hopkins, the two have become unstoppable and their relationship has grown from coach to client to a brotherhood bond.

How do you feel about winning the Client of the Year?

Buzzing! I was really over the moon when Reece called me up to say I was awarded client of the year. I had been working extremely hard on getting to the end point of the second cut after the photoshoots I received the award. Exciting for sure!

How long have you now been with the academy?

Been with the Academy for 18months, where we went through 2 cuts (70.25 & 64.6kg) and 1 bulk.

What was your initial reason for reaching out?

I reached out with the intention of losing a couple lbs and becoming healthier in myself and being able to play football for 90mins.
Fast forward and it’s been an incredible journey where this is now a lifestyle.

Congratulations to our latest client of the month, Zachary Pinkowski. Before joining the Physique Academy and working with coach Zayne, Zachary was bouncing back and forth between routines with no clear direction, now he has a solid plan that is pushing him past his goals and helping him form new ones. At the beginning he could barely deadlift his own weight or run a mile without stopping, now he is pushing well past his weight in deadlifts and is chipping away at his 5k time weekly. Zackary has lost in incredible 15lbs of fat and continues to strengthen in the gym and increase his endurance.

Amazing work! Check out what Zachary had to say about working with the academy.

When did you join the Physique Academy?

I joined the end of June of this year.

Why did you join Physique Academy?

I’ve been working out for years and have constantly gone through cycles of getting in shape to then falling off track and out of shape in the summer months and around the holidays. I joined to not only get in shape but to break this cycle.

Congratulations tour latest client of the month, Terrance Craft. Terrance has been with the academy over a year now and has changed his life completely. Not only has he experienced an impressive physical change, but his levels of confidence are sky high. Terrance has been introduced to a new social circle through interacting with other PA clients and his journey has led him down a new career path.

Amazing work! Check out what Terrance had to say about working with the academy.

I joined Physique Academy in February of 2023.

Why did you join Physique Academy?

I joined Physique Academy to achieve a leaner physique and look good without my shirt on.

Congratulations to our client of the month Jay Pabari. Jay reached out to the academy after years of training by himself but felt like he was struggling to really achieve the fitness levels and physique he wanted. Jay is also an employee at the intensive care unit and found himself working long hours here, there, and everywhere so routine was difficult to master.

Jay got to work with coach Harry who created a program that would slot around Jay's crazy shift pattern, with 4-5 workouts per week under 120 minutes and a nutrition plan that removed the guesswork. Jay was thrilled with his nutrition plan getting into a healthy habit of quickly creating his own home-cooked meals and getting creative with the inspiration of our recipes and his own calorie targets. He was still able to enjoy his favourite foods like curry, pasta and steak whilst seeing progress.

Jay managed to lose 23lbs in the process and has become the master of his own time, workouts, food and confidence.

We chatted with the worthy winner of client of the month to talk about his achievements and his time training with the Physique Academy.

Congratulations to Braden StClaire, our latest client of the month winner. Before joining us, Braden was overseas working. He wasn’t consistent in the gym and wanted to shift some of his stubborn fat. From the word go, we built out a training plan that he could follow around his busy schedule. This was 3 workouts a week - a mix of push, pull and legs. We created a tailored "healthy eating" nutrition plan that would help steer off hunger and maintain performance in the gym. The result? In 15 weeks, he lost 25 pounds. One area he valued most was accountability, and Neil explaining the WHY behind things.

“Braden showed a level of discipline to get the results he’s got. This isn’t easy so a massive well done to my client as his hard work paid off to get elite results. Braden checks in every week, makes progress and adheres to the program when changes are made. This is why he’s got the results and completed phase 1” – Coach Neil

I needed guidance and accountability to turn my fitness/health around, I used to play a lot of sport, but everything dropped off during COVID, so I was in bad shape.

Congratulations to our March client of the month Damo! Damo has been working alongside coach Adam to achieve incredible results and the work isn't done yet. He is currently 43lbs down in 24 weeks! Whilst dropping body fat he has also accrued a great element of lean mass!

Damien has also increased his strength across all his compound lifts, he’s much fitter, faster and stronger in all areas of training. During his current time working with Adam, he’s told Adam he has re-fallen in love with training after it previously feeling like a chore, this is now something he lives for, something he does, part of his lifestyle! Whilst on plan, Damien has been blessed with a beautiful baby girl which for most would set them back, but this has added more fuel the fire giving him added motivation to become better and be a role model to his daughter.

When did you join the Physique Academy?

Why did you join Physique Academy?

“I wanted to nominate client Chris as client of the month because of how much he has changed as a person as-well as his life changing body transformation. Not only has he lost 40kg of body fat now but has also found a love for weight training and running. The confidence this man now has is incredible, as its elevated so high from when we first started. A goal now is a full marathon next year, after recently completing a half marathon. Mentally and physically it’s great to see a client change so much every single week and this is why I love my job. Has every week been perfect… NO. But Chris never gave up and had trust in me and the process to keep going and it will pay off”. – Neil Chauhan - Physique Academy Online Coach.

Congratulations to our November client of the month, Michael Teagle. Michael has been training with Reece after reaching out to the Physique Academy wanting to improve his physical appearance, gain a better understanding of all elements of training and improve his overall health. Michael has achieved amazing results which have contributed to his lifestyle. Michael has put his full focus on his training program and the results show. He has dropped 31kg in the process and gained some serious muscle. This is just the end of phase 1, just wait until you see what’s at the end of Phase 2!

When did you join the Physique Academy?

I reached out to Physique Academy during the last week of December 2021 and officially joined the team the first week of January 2022. I’d say this is the point where EVERYTHING changed for me.

Why did you Join the Physique Academy?

I lacked accountability, direction and understanding of nutrition. There was an element of poor general health from mental well-being, muscular issues, heart burns and continuous headaches. For the record, I don’t experience any of these issues anymore.

What have you achieved both physically and personally since joining the academy?

Physically I am in the best shape of my life. I have an understanding and direction of my physique goals; I feel we have created a platform to grow in the gym and outside through the discipline and knowledge I have gained in the academy. My overall health and mental wellbeing have improved, in fact it’s off the charts! The mindset I have built through the journey has spilled into my personal life and I am more driven in setting goals and embracing gratitude.

What is your ultimate fitness goal?

At the start of my journey my goal was to become disciplined, create habits, lose some weight to improve my overall health and physique. As we have progressed through the academy, health remains the ultimate goal. I enjoy the feeling of talking to friends and family about my journey and perhaps this is something that turns a hobby and lifestyle into a new career path. My goal at this present moment is to continue to inspire and get a better understanding of nutrition.

We caught up with our latest client of the month to learn more about his journey with Physique Academy.

Alex has been working hard with coach Jamie Gorse to achieve new levels of fitness and self-belief in his job, relationships, and confidence. He has truly shown dedication to his program, checking in each and every week, improving in all areas of fitness and wanting to educate himself on the philosophy of Physique Academy. Starting off, Alex identified that consistency is the area he lacked when it came to seeing progress, we targeted this with a routine that would keep training and nutrition exciting that enabled consistency to become second nature. Look where we are now.

Here is what Alex had to say about training with Jamie:

When did you join the Physique Academy?

Ben jumped on board with Physique Academy due to feeling demotivated and not at his physical best throughout multiple lockdowns. He knew he needed to commit to something and make some positive changes.

The goals were clear from the start, although wanting to look his physical best, crossfit and conditioning work were a staple in Bens current regime. This allowed us to put a focus on performance, moving better and improving functionality.

Ben is now in the best shape of his life physically and feeling way more motivated and clear headed at work and home. In phase two, the goal is to now improve across all Olympic lifts now we have a few extra calories to play with take a look below to find out more about Ben’s Journey.

I joined the Physique Academy in January 2022

Why did you join Physique Academy?

I always kept myself fit but never followed a program - I saw some of the transformations online and wanted to see if I could do the same.

Congratulations to our latest Client of the Month award winner. Cory felt inspired to join the academy after seeing the amazing results from our social channels and having a close friend train with the team. After phase 1, Cory is the leanest he has ever been in his life and has gained new levels confidence in himself. Coach Neil and Cory have worked together incredibly and the results speak for themselves. Cory previously struggled to balance a consistent diet with his social life, but with our guidance he was able to overcome this challenge and get the results he aimed for.

We caught up with our latest client of the month to learn more about his journey with Physique Academy.

When did you join the Physique Academy?

I joined Physique Academy in July 2021.

Why did you join Physique Academy?

I joined PA because I had seen a close friend seeing some unbelievable results and I wanted to see the same sort of results myself. I really wanted to see abs as they are something I had never achieved in my life and be much fitter all round.

Congratulations to our latest client of the month. Greg joined Physique Academy because he had gotten to a point where he was fed up with his yo-yo approach to losing and gaining weight. He spent many years trying out different methods, but he could not keep it off.

Greg knew that he needed a fully tailored, dedicated program in place with full 1-1 accountability. Based on what he had seen through other Physique Academy transformations, he knew he had to join and see what he could do for himself.

The initial goal was to strip away body fat, and then start to build muscle and strength once we felt that he had got to a level of body fat that was much more sustainable and we were happy with. We achieved phenomenal results, and Greg is undoubtedly in the healthiest position he has ever been in.

Additionally, his long-term health was very central to his goals, and we have made massive improvements due to increased activity levels and a nutritious diet plan including the foods he loves.

Nutrition wise, he has been provided with the education and tools to be much more informed in his decision making, now he has gained control over a bad overeating habit which he suffered from before joining Physique Academy.

Greg went from not being able to run 1KM to now competing in a half marathon event showing that 1 decision can be life changing. Unbelievable work man, let’s see what we can do in the next phase.

Greg’s testimonial: “I can safely say that every single part of my life has improved dramatically in the last year, and I have Jamie and Physique Academy to thank for that! There is an incredible amount of false information floating around in relation to all-things fitness, from ridiculous restrictions in nutrition, to completely nonsensical training programs. Jamie and the other coaches at Physique Academy are firm believers in educating people the right way, and establishing a tailored, sustainable lifestyle for every single client. It has been really eye-opening to me that my nutrition choices can be both beneficial and enjoyable, something which I believed was absolutely impossible."

Congratulations to our latest client of the month Thomas Collins. Tom has shown nothing but determination, drive, and willingness to learn the Physique Academy philosophy and has lost 37 lbs down in 24 weeks while also gaining mass! Tom made it all happen with his coach Jamie. “My highlight has been working with Jamie. He’s been my PT, my coach, teacher, mentor, and best friend all in one, in times of success he’s cheered me on and been my biggest supporter, in times of doubt he’s inspired me to keep going and push myself further, and he’s also been there in times of struggle where other circumstances have impacted my journey. Jamie has been there with me every step of the way and his passion for helping others, his drive, his knowledge, and effort have been outstanding.”

Tom joined Physique Academy because he was at a very low point in his life. Once lockdown hit, his fitness routine went out the window and he took refuge in comfort eating until eventually he resented the gym and developed bad eating habits. Tom lacked motivation and didn’t have the knowledge to undo the damage he has caused, until he came across Physique Academy. It was clear that PA would be able to provide the knowledge, tools, coaching and structure in order for Tom to begin his journey.

His initial goals were primarily to lose body fat and improve his overall fitness and strength. He also wanted to reshape his mindset. Tom wanted to become the best version of himself and achieve things he never thought he was “cut out” to do.

Through Tom’s fitness journey with PA, his achievements have surpassed what he had originally hoped for. His physical appearance, strength, and endurance, but also his mental toughness and attitude towards his overall health and day-to-day lifestyle choices are just some of the noticeable changes within Tom.

For as long as he can remember his diet has constantly been up and down to the point where he would buy a 12-week fat loss diet plan just to get back to his regular shape. This wasn’t feasible nor healthy in the long run.
